Rich in symbolism

The Crystal Ashley Fish Hook Wall Art is a metallic wall art based on the Hei Matau design. It is made from a light-weight aluminium composite material (ACM). The Hei Matau, often referred to as the fish hook, is a Taonga, or cultural treasure, of the Maori people. It represents their land, fertility, prosperity and safe journey over water.

In Maori legend the North Island of New Zealand was once a giant fish caught with a Hei Matau by the great mariner Maui. This is why the Maori name for the North Island is Te Ika a Maui or ‘the fish of Maui’.

Today, the Hei Matau is not only an important cultural symbol to the native Maori, but is often considered to be one of the symbols of New Zealand.
